any other death heads?

[Bartender]

My route home every night passes straight through town, and tonight I looked in on Virgin to look for a few DVDs...and Virgin have a sale on, of extreme metal. I was shocked.

Okay so its not the most underground stuff around (Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, Napalm Death, Carcass, Decapitated, Akercocke and a few others, from what I can remember), but they're all 7.99. As best I can remember, its by far the coolest thing Virgin have ever done.

[Bartender]

Just remembered, you also get a free T-shirt if you buy 2 or more of those CDs...my basic attitude to the shirt was "hey, free dishrag!", and it won't fit me anyway, but I thought I'd mention it.

Also, the only band I'm not familiar with that I can remember being on sale was Decapitated. Is it worth buying any or their albums?

[ninjamonkey]

Decapitated is awesoem dude. get either album nihility or winds of creation. i think both are amazing.

[w1kz]

huh...weird. I'm able to get on at work today. But I couldn't last week. Just a temporary block I guess. I'm still gonna try to limit my time though so it doesn't become a permanent block.



*has original*

:D

Hey Jim, its w1kz off of Tab vault. :)

Anyways, this is my first post on mx since my last username which I had a year ago.

My favorite metal bands would have to be:

Nile
Cannibal Corpse
Carcass
Dying Fetus
Cryptopsy
Gorgasm
Lamb of God
Morbid Angel

Etc.

[ninjamonkey]

whats tab vault?

[w1kz]

whats tab vault?

It's another forum that were both on.

I second that. Get Winds Of Creation. I'm seeing them live this easter! *orgasms*

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Nothing says Religious holiday (like easter) like Decapitated.

[ninjamonkey]

haha.

oh man, i love this thread. and the old one too.

i wish we could add the black metal suggestions thread to this one.

[Toozey]

Go for it.

[ninjamonkey]

how? (must be 5 characters)

[Toozey]

Make suggestions...this thread can contain anything as we said at the start.

By anything I mean any Extreme Metal.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Petitions for extreme metal forum!



/sarcasm

[Toozey]

This thread is the extreme metal forum :p

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Yes!(5 character rule)

[ninjamonkey]

haha, i know that. i just meant like actually add that thrwead to this one.

i think an extreme metal forum would actually get a lot of peopel but they would probably never add it. :(
this thread is pretty much the extreme forum like toozey said though.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

If the mods won't make a classical forums or a blues forums they aren't going to make another type of metal forum :upest:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

ok guys, my friend played me a "Gorgoroth" (spelling?) album today before we were in class and i liked it alot...he said they got two albums as far as he knowns, any recomendations for a cd to order (if they only have two ill just order both). thanks, us power metal guys need help when it comes to Norwegian bands sometimes lol.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Pentagram is my favorite Gorgoroth album.

[metdrummer]

:lol:

Norwegian Black metal is the **** man

[metdrummer]

Who invented the Baphomet Horde avatar?

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Legions had it the first I believe.

Hey anyone hear of Psycroptic? Some good technical stuff.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I have "Under the sign of hell" and it's a quality album even though it's only about 35 minutes long.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Legions had it the first I believe.

Hey anyone hear of Psycroptic? Some good technical stuff.

I made a thread about them a while ago

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Oh you did? Sorry I missed it.

Anyways my Bitchsplitter CD came in the mail. Great stuff. Fast, brutal and pretty varied. Luckily I didnt get in trouble from my parents for the cover.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Hey w1ks.

Gorgoroth has more than 2 albums.

A Sorcery Written In Blood (demo...don't count on finding it)
Pentagram
Antichrist
The Last Tormentor (live 7" EP)
Under The Sign Of Hell
Destroyer...Or About How To Philosophize With The Hammer
Incipit Satan
Twilight Of The Idols-In Conspiracy With Satan

I haven't heard the new one yet, but I've heard from others that it's pretty cack. Pretty much anything pre-Incipit Satan. That album strayed a bit from their previous work and is quite different IMO. It's ok, but not very representitive of the bands other work.

And yeah I had the Baphomet avatar. Then someone copped it and I was harrassing them about it and it became a sort of inside joke. And it just sort of mutated from that point. I didn't invent it though. Do a google search for "Baphomet" and "Goat Of Mendes".

[metdrummer]

Well... i have a few Gorgoroth songs, they are... Destroyer, Open the Gates and Krig....

Any suggestions on some awesome Gorgoroth songs?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I could suggest you "Under the sign of Hell"
That whole album is damn good.

[metdrummer]

ok, cool....

*adds to list*

[ninjamonkey]

you guys want to see an opeth concert?

mms://straum.nrk.no/Musikk/2003-06-16/Opeth_300k.wmv

[metdrummer]

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I have "Under the sign of hell" and it's a quality album even though it's only about 35 minutes long.

i think thats the one he had, as he also complained about the albums length...consider it ordered :)

[metdrummer]

where do you order your cd's from Frail?

[metdrummer]

yay... there pto Deliverance

[ninjamonkey]

wait you had to download it? its streaming.

[metdrummer]

nah i meant like open it and buffer in media player...

Im upto the drapory falls

[metdrummer]

you know? what it as it buffers in Media Player?

[ninjamonkey]

oh ok. it took that long to buffer?

[fabybucker]

i dont know if any of you are familiar with the band Vehemence but they are like accustic death metal in a way, and i was wondering if anyone knew of any other bands like them?

[ninjamonkey]

yeah vehemance is good. they alwasy remind me of vital remains. but thta might just be because of the name

[metdrummer]

No it didnt take that long to buffer it took like 20 seconds to buffer then i watched it, im now about 54:00 in and i dont know what this song is :P

All i recodnised so far was The Drapory falls and Dileverance

[metdrummer]

Sweet, they are closing with Demon of the Fall...

EDIT: Wow, what a show...

[big69]

I saw Opeth live last Wednesday, it was sweet

[metdrummer]

awesome man... what did they play?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

where do you order your cd's from Frail?

typically www.cdnow.com

i order them used if all possible.

[AmonAmarth]

i dont know if any of you are familiar with the band Vehemence but they are like accustic death metal in a way, and i was wondering if anyone knew of any other bands like them?


Acoustic Death Metal? Ahahahah, you haven't a ****ing clue do you? Vehemence hasn't one acoustic song, I think you're full of crap.

[metdrummer]

thanks frail...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

no problem, its wonderful because it saves your credit card number on there so when you log onto it all you have to do is click, "add to basket" and check out...yeah i lose alot of money this way. Metal bands are hard to find in local cd stores for anything under 15.99 so i wait until there are deals on there for a used one for like 6.99, shipping (in the US) is like $1.50 for a cd, overall ive never had a problem and i order cds every week for years now...just avoid the seller "Djananos Music", check your sellers ratings and feedback before you order or you could wait up to a month for a cd, whereas usually it takes a few days....look at what people have first class shipping avaible, and the expedia shipping is a sham...dosnent get there any faster.

[metdrummer]

yeah man... im gonna start ordering from them because its really hard to find decent cd's in my town... and they have everything...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

exactly, i bought every classic rock cd and "obvious" metal bands (ozzy, megadeth, etc...) years ago and now that i got all of their stuff i was having trouble finding any cds by metal bands from europe/england...so theres your answer. just dont get hooked like i did lol, what am i talking about...your young, waste the money!

I just ordered that a Carcass album i wanted, not bad for only 8.99.

[metdrummer]

yeah... but the bastard is, i have to get it too australia... :( anyway...

Yeah im trying to save for more cymbals and another snare anway... im gonna get these cd's though....

I have most of these cd's on my computer, but nothing beats the real thing...

Morbid Angel
- Covenant
- Gateways to Annihilation
Immortal
- Sons of Northern Darkness
- Pure Holocaust
- ****ed in Black

[Suffering Dead]

^^^^^^what are some gorgoroth and immortal songs to check out?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Immortal are my favourite black metal group id say check out.

One by One
Sons of Northern Darnkess
Where dark and light dont differ
At the heart of winter
as eternity opens
Dammed in Black
Eternal Years On The Path To The Cemetary Gates
Mountains of Might
Winter of the Ages
Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms
Through The Halls Of Eternity

Those are my favourite of the 5 albums i have.

[metdrummer]

Immortal is the best black band man... trust me


Gorgoroth... im still sorta new too them, you'd be better off to ask someone else...

[Suffering Dead]

thanks frail and met :thumb: will try and get them off kazaalite *crosses finger and stabs needed into eye socket*

[metdrummer]

No problem man...

[Ve Das]

Oi,Frail,what happend to the good old

"FROSTDEMONSTORM!!!"

:D

[lilpete86]

I just heard Catamenia earlier on today really cool black metal. Anyone else heard them?

[Terminal Spirit]

Downloaded Dreams of Winterland. It reminds me of a less hetero-sexual Dissection.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

thanks frail and met :thumb: will try and get them off kazaalite *crosses finger and stabs needed into eye socket*

Immortal as far as albums go id say either "dammed in black" or "sons of northern darkness" are my favourites. "blizzard beasts" and "at the heart of winter" are both brutal as well.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Oi,Frail,what happend to the good old

"FROSTDEMONSTORM!!!"

:D

haha, so many to choose from...it was late night, forgive me :) yeah that is one hell of a track and album closer!

[DestroyerChris]

sons of northern darkness is one hell of a cd. all the tracks are great, but to me a few standouts are tyrants, in my kingdom cold and far beyond the northern waves. too bad they split up...

[Nocturnal Moon]

Abbath has created his own band

[xAzagthothx]

FRAIL: you forgot the almighty WITHSTAND THE FALL OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!! that is hands down the best blackened song of frost to ever be glazed over with snow on a cd. ****NNNn!!!!!!

dude Suffering: simply do yourself a favor and order Immortal's "At The Heart of Winter" cd.

[DestroyerChris]

nocturnal moon, do ya have any info on it?

[Nocturnal Moon]

Nocturnal Moon is a friend of mine, he's kind of stupid so i wouldn't expect him to reply to that.

[Nocturnal Moon]

Wow...This is Per ardua ad astra. He was over my house before and that's where he made the account and i guess he forgot to log off.

Thats the death metal spirit!

Anyways, I got Dismembers massive killing capacity today, and it is great! I see now why Dismember is considered a classic death metal band.

[Terminal Spirit]

Thats the death metal spirit!

Anyways, I got Dismembers massive killing capacity today, and it is great! I see now why Dismember is considered a classic death metal band.

If you think that's good, get Like an Everflowing Stream. It destroys Massive Killing Capacity in every way possible.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Wow. I checked out some Like an Everflowing stream on Kazaa, and you're right, it does destroy MKC in everyway! I hope I can go into Calgary tomorow and pick it up.
I saw it a pawn shop for 6 bucks, along with Hypocrisy Into The Abyss, so ill try to go.

[AmonAmarth]

My god I was listening to Gates Of Ishtar and Agalloch today, **** they are so similar and so talented. Anyone notice this similarity?

[Jondur]

If you think that's good, get Like an Everflowing Stream. It destroys Massive Killing Capacity in every way possible.

They tried to get all technical on MKC and it didn't really work. Like an Everflowing Stream is probably the best Swedish death metal album ever but I rate Indecent and Obscene too.

I quite like Catemenia but I see terminal's point, it lacks that edge that makes Dissection or Lord Belial great bands.

Currently I am still in orgasmic rapture over the brilliance of Revelation "Frozen Masque" - quite simply, it is stunning.

[metdrummer]

Any songs to get off it Jondur?

[Ve Das]

Nope,seems like I´ll have to get me some Gates Of Ishtar now...

[metdrummer]

Ive heard about Gates of Ishtar.... but i dont know anything to check them out

[AmonAmarth]

Good ****, especially get Gates Of Ishtar - Dawn Of Flames and Agalloch - The Wilderness they sound very similar.

[Jondur]

Any songs to get off it Jondur?

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7567/within.mp3

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7567/finished.mp3

Note: this is doom metal of the highest order - huge amounts of Sabbath worship and one of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard.

[metdrummer]

So whats the name of this band?

[metdrummer]

And are they supposed to be that short?

Great songs...

[Jondur]

The band is Revelation. Those are just samples, the album is released by The Miskatonic Foundation so you should be able to find it in most mailorders or direct from the label (see http://the_miskatonic_foundation.musicstack.com) . Where do you live?

If you wanted to check out Dismember you should listen to: Override the Overture, Sickening Art, Skin Her Alive

[metdrummer]

I live in Australia.... i'll check them out ;)

[ninjamonkey]

Good ****, especially get Gates Of Ishtar - Dawn Of Flames and Agalloch - The Wilderness they sound very similar.

the wilderness?
do you mean the mantle?
anyway, i liek both bands but never noticed any remote similarity.

[ninjamonkey]

hey, is it possible for someone on the first page of htis htread to give a link to the original death ehads thread? that would be pretty useful i think for all the people checking this thread out for the first time.
the link is http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16816

[Bartender]

Okay guys, please introduce me to: Slaughterlord.

I've heard good things (comparisons to Morbid Angel), and I like At The Gates cover of Legion.

[AmonAmarth]

the wilderness?

anyway, i liek both bands but never noticed any remote similarity.


No, The Wilderness is a song of their demo "From Which Of This Oak". It was never re-released after that. Dawn Of Flames Im refering to is the song, not the album.

Btw, Pale Folklore is much more black metal then The Mantle

[Terminal Spirit]

Anyone heard the new Gorgasm, Masticate to Dominate? I got it yesterday, and I have to say that it will be the best brutal death metal CD of the year. With perhaps the exception of new Lykathea Aflame and The Necrophagist. That should hardly detract from it's sheer awesomeness though.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I heard it. It was very good, but Id say Lykathea Aflame beat it.

[Terminal Spirit]

I heard it. It was very good, but Id say Lykathea Aflame beat it.

:confused: New Lykathea Aflame isn't out yet.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Yeah, isnt Elvenefris out? :confused: Or do they have something newer?



EDIT: Ever wonder what a death metal Mr.Clean them would sound like?
Me neither, but its very odd and interesting mix.

www.skullfuk.cjb.net and click on media.

[Jondur]

He means there will be a new Lykathea Aflame (or Lykathe as they are now known) album out this year. Fingers crossed that it's going to be a belter!

The only available Slaughter Lord material is the re-release of Thrash Till Death. It's on Invictus. It's thrash really - Hellhammer type stuff.

I'm really looking forward to the new Lykathea Aflame album. Even if they did change their name. Hopefully the album will be as good as Elvenefris.

[ninjamonkey]

anyone know when exactly the new lykathea will be otu or have a website about it?

amonamarth, yeah i know, pale folklore is much more black-metal. i have both albums.

[ninjamonkey]

"The only available Slaughter Lord material is the re-release of Thrash Till Death. It's on Invictus. It's thrash really - Hellhammer type stuff."

whats invictus?
and that iniquity growl thing is very old and not funny.

They have 5 albums ;) But yeah only 2 big ones, The Mantle and Pale Folklore. They're coming out with 2 new albums soon The Grey EP and a split with Nest

masticate to dominate is new?
reviews say it was released in 2003?
and how will it be the best of the year if it was last year?

[ninjamonkey]

well, they have 2 real albums. they have the form which of this oak demo and another like 2 track EP.
oh eyah, they they have of stone wind and pillor. i have that one too. i forgot about it. haha, so i have 3 albums.

Pale Folklore - EP
Of Stone Wind And Pillor - EP (only as CD) LP (as 7" vynl) - 300 Copies
The Mantle - EP

Hmmm, apparently it came out in November. Distro's only just started getting it in January though, due to Unique Leader being useless.

[xAzagthothx]

Agaloch i like... its like American Opeth but not. which is really cool. You guys ever hear of Divinity Destroyed? Theyd maybe be kinda like em.... i got them on this sampler with the phemonenal underground masters Beyond The Flesh. metal up the wazoo yo

[AmonAmarth]

Like I said on UltimateMetal forums, I never noticed the similarity of Agalloch and Opeth maybe it's just me.

I haven't heard Divinity Destroyed, what type of metal?

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I heard a Callenish Circle song, Dwelling in Disdain, and i really liked it. Any other good songs to recommend?

[Fimbulwinter]

Like I said on UltimateMetal forums, I never noticed the similarity of Agalloch and Opeth maybe it's just me.

I haven't heard Divinity Destroyed, what type of metal?
Basicly they both use acoustics and some clean vocals.

[metdrummer]

Sounds good...

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Like I said on UltimateMetal forums, I never noticed the similarity of Agalloch and Opeth maybe it's just me.

I've never noticed much of a similarity either, like Fimbul said, they both have acoustics and clean vocals. Next time i listen to them both i will listen for similarity's but i don't think there is much of a conncection, I mean alot of bands use Acoustics and Clean vocals and don't sound like neither agalloch nor Opeth.

1 hour ? :eek:

Is a one hour song enjoyable?
I would guess it gets boring or am I wrong? :confused:

[ninjamonkey]

im guessing that it changes over the course of time so its not boring ;)

[superpeer]

Yeah, probably, but wouldn't that lead to the fact that the last part of the song has nothing to do with the first part anymore.

I mean, you need some kind of similarity and I figured that in the end it would get a bit repetitive, but yeah, I don't know.
I'm just wondering how they did it.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

It would just get tiring. Ill stick to a couple seperate songs.

[Samuel]

Hey, i need some people to name me some extreme metal songs that have easy drums in them. My brother is a drummer and i want to play some **** with him, but he isnt really up to the challenge of playing your average morbid angel song.
I would post this in the drums section, but i really only want extreme metal, and i didnt feel like having people to tell me to listen to mushroomhead or whatever.

[ninjamonkey]

ha, it might be tough to find some extreme metal songs without double bass and amazing drumming.

[metdrummer]

There is really no such thing as Extreme Metal with basic drumming...

Now im from the Drums forum, and no you wouldnt have been told to listen to mushroom head... Feel free to post it there...

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Play some newer Fear Factory. Not really death metal, but just play it faster and angrier.

[Samuel]

He isnt awful, i just need something that's a little more simple. And moderate speed double bass isnt a problem.
He's just no David Longstreth

In Flames - Cloud Connected
Slayer - New Faith

[metdrummer]

He isnt awful, i just need something that's a little more simple. And moderate speed double bass isnt a problem.
He's just no David Longstreth
You mean hes no Gene Hoglan or Pete Sandoval ;)

[xAzagthothx]

bassman, and its JOHN Longstreth. ive seen the man play countless times. he recently left Skinless to go pound skins for Exhumed. Longstreth....ehnn.... i dont like him. hes too much of a rockstar now.

[Fimbulwinter]

Blimey, I just got the "Live Damage DVD" and it's ****ing amazing! 195 minutes of Dark Tranquillity. Quite obviously I'm very excited about this thing. Ha!

[---]extreme metal songs that have easy drums[---]
Isn't that an oxymoron!

I believe :lol: , Whats everyone think of Satyricon?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I love Satyricon personally, "Nemesis Divina" is a great album.

[Samuel]

Yeah, i realised it was john after i posted. I dont know where david came from...

[Fimbulwinter]

Whats everyone think of Satyricon?
They were great pre-Volcano. Now they're just pure ****e.

[6victor6]

Me too. :D

So what are your (pl.) opinions on Hate Eternal?


I love hate eternal, they are f.ucking amazing.

[6victor6]

They were great pre-Volcano. Now they're just pure ****e.


I agree 100 % on this.

[6victor6]

Hey, i need some people to name me some extreme metal songs that have easy drums in them. My brother is a drummer and i want to play some **** with him, but he isnt really up to the challenge of playing your average morbid angel song.
I would post this in the drums section, but i really only want extreme metal, and i didnt feel like having people to tell me to listen to mushroomhead or whatever.


Try Venom, some slayer, some napalm death, a few death songs aren't that hard..........s.hit this is hard to say because most extreme metal is a pain in the a.ss to play. Just tell your brother to get up the the challange or you will kick the s.hit out of him. He will be playing drum check soon after that....... well maybe not but oh well.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Well, what is your brother capable of doing? Can he do blast beats? double bass? How fast is he? etc.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

To bassman, some stuff off "Blood Fire Death" -Bathory would probably be a good suite for your brother to play.

[xAzagthothx]

guys....come on. Obituary dude. Extremity gets no simpler than that, except for Six Feet Under, but theyre gay so they dont count. That....or, play some stuff off of Reign In Blood, like Raining Blood. Entombed are also fairly easy i think as far as drumming goes. but umm....yeah. Just go make him learn the whole Formulas album and then have him drum for my band....hahaha

[Samuel]

Thanks alot everybody, i'll check those out

[slayerrules]

anyone know when exactly the new lykathea will be otu or have a website about it?

amonamarth, yeah i know, pale folklore is much more black-metal. i have both albums.


Apparently they are doing pre-production now so it should be out later this year.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Well I'm spreading the metal. I just made 2 mp3 cd-r's for people I work with. One of them is into punk and not much metal. The other listens to some metal, Metallica, Slayer and some nu-metal stuff. Both of them were interested in black and death metal though so I made them both cd's with about 120 songs on them all death and black metal.

Myself though, the last couple days I haven't really been listening to much except at work. After 5 years of trying to get my dads guitars from my mom (he died 7 years ago, she kicked me out 5 years ago, some of you have I'm sure heard me bitch about the whole situation) I finally got both of them. An Epiphone 12 string acoustic and a Guild 12 string acoustic that my dad had a Seymour Duncan put in a couple years before he died. So I've been listening to a lot of acoustic stuff lately.

[ninjamonkey]

hey will you guys do me a favor? could you rate this song i made tonight?
you can fiond it here. http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamM3U.m3u?ID=903436&q=Hi

Good for you jimbo, good for you...

Now maybe you come to La and Jam :D

That's awesome that you got those guitars, my old guitar teacher had a Guild acoustic. They put out some pretty nice guitars. By the way, if you've been listening to acoustic stuff lately, try listening to the band Days of the New. They are well known for their acoustics.

[Anti-Bush]

Days of the New. They are well known for their acoustics.


They are a real talented band, I would reccomend the albums orange and green(they cds dont have a name they are labled by colors)

[DestroyerChris]

i need some help getting into death metal, can anyone suggest me some goodbands/songs? i listen to black metal, so i'm well used to brutal, i don't need any softer death metal bands like in flames. i want some real heavy stuff in the vein of behemoth and immolation. oh, and no gore death metal, i don't really like that stuff. i know i should search, but the death heads thread is really long- that's alot of work for a lazy slacker like me haha. thanks for your help!

[+mekava+]

in flames isnt death metal..
Nile.

[DestroyerChris]

they're gothenburg style melodic death metal...well, they were anyways. reroute to remain is kinda nu metalish, ok...i'll give nile a shot

[superpeer]

^

In Flames is melodic death metal, notice the words death metal :thumb: (EDIT: to mekava)

Oh and DestroyerChris, try some Nile or Cryptopsy.

[+mekava+]

I just said nile.. try morbid angel, children of bodom (best), dying fetus.. kalmah..

your one lazy piece of ****! :lol:

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Try some Vital Remains, they have been talked about in this thread before. Try searching like 3 or 4 pages back :thumb:

[Ve Das]

@Destroyerchris: If you like BM,what could your problem with gore death possibly be?It can´t be the lyrics...
@In Flames: They´re power metal.End.Of.Discussion.

Yeah. I've actually been listening to them and Tantric quite a bit. As well as a bunch of older stuff. Stuff from the 70's and 80's like Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Dan Fogelburg etc.

And DestroyerChris-Just look through the thread. There are tons of bands/songs.

[DestroyerChris]

@Destroyerchris: If you like BM,what could your problem with gore death possibly be?It can´t be the lyrics...
@In Flames: They´re power metal.End.Of.Discussion.


it is the lyrics. i think gore death metal lyrics are ridiculously stupid.

[ninjamonkey]

what genre do you think lamb of god is?

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Thrash, but new thrash

I wouldnt call them death

[ninjamonkey]

what about hatebreed?
modern hardcore but without the emo?
they play metal now (the instruments), but the singer is still hardcore style.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Yeah, id still call them hardcore. Still churning, slow and massive, so yeah, hardcore.

[AmonAmarth]

I'd call them Death, just a lightened down version... It has all the influences of American Death.

[Jondur]

Death Metal with easy drums:

Death "Open Casket"
Death "Pull the Plug"
Autopsy "Critical Madness"
Obituary "Chopped in Half"
Carcass "Corporeal Jigsore Quandry"

DestroyerChris: Some bands that you may enjoy:

Incantation - Diabolical Conquest
Immolation - Dawn of Possession
Vital Remains - forever Underground

[metdrummer]

i thought lamb of god was on the softer side of death...?

[paulhanson86]

Finally its back!

NP - Megadeth - Holy Wars

:thumb: party on dude

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Yeah. I've actually been listening to them and Tantric quite a bit. As well as a bunch of older stuff. Stuff from the 70's and 80's like Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Dan Fogelburg etc.

Yep, Tantric is good too. As a matter of fact, they are coming out with a new album sometime soon (I forget when, but I read it in Guitar One). Gordon Lightfoot and Dan Fogelburg are good also.

[TheUnavoidable]

Q. Who are/were slaughterlord?

[Squirrel]

I know it seems like a lame question but what are you favorite musicians from the death metal scene ?; try to talk about all instruments :)

[Jondur]

A. A legendary Australian thrash band. They are mainly famous for doing a split with Morbid Angel. They played very raw trash/death. Not for the faint-hearted.

[Hereditarylead]

ok. im here. but it might take me awhile read everything haha! anyway. hello.

[~^DeMoN^~]

is at the gates death ? and if so, what classification?

[Forevergrey]

is at the gates death ? and if so, what classification?

Melodic Death metal, them along with Dark Tranquillity are the 2 inventors of the scene (according to most people, anyway).

[Jondur]

ok. im here. but it might take me awhile read everything haha! anyway. hello.

Hey,

If you think this long - dod a search for "Any other death heads" and you'll find the original! Over 5000 posts of metal mayhem!!!

[Hereditarylead]

nah, lol. its ok... and jondur, what bands did your cd thing have on it and when did you come here?

[xAzagthothx]

my god **** Celtic Frost cd still hasnt come in. im super pissed. i ordered it Jan 5 at FYE i think...5th or 15th, i dont remember. but still....****. never order anything from that place. they suck. its the Morbid Tales cd. it was like 14 bux, and its got pretty much the whole Hellhammer EP on it too. maddd old school yo.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Melodic Death metal, them along with Dark Tranquillity are the 2 inventors of the scene (according to most people, anyway).

I'd also say Eucharist helped sculpt it as well.

[AmonAmarth]

At this rate 5000 posts will be easy to gain... hah.

Btw the leader of the Melodic Death Scene is Dissection, and always will be.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Dissection is black metal, isnt it?

But then again, they thmselves have even said "We play the metal of death". (Or was that Immortal?)

[JMetallica]

I thought dissection were a black/death band... in which case, you are both right. :p

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Btw the leader of the Melodic Death Scene is Dissection, and always will be.

Nope, Dissection is most definitely black metal. They may have a few Melodic Death inspired riffs (see "Where Dead Angels Lie") they are definitely black metal. Jon is part of a Misanthropic Lucifer Order, they worship Satan, they play Black metal.

[AmonAmarth]

Look at Jon's latest statement:

'We Are Death Metal' especially Retribution and The Somberlain they are soooooooooooooo Melodic Death.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Limp Bizkit claimed that they are metal. Are they?

Id still call Dissection black. I see a lot of difference between them and melodic death.

[AmonAmarth]

It takes someone that's in the scene, to know the scene.

While Dissection border line Death and Black, Persona and Music doesn't equal the genre. They == death.

BTW: First 100 Posts In The Deaths Thread ph33r!!!

[Terminal Spirit]

Dissection are Satanic Melodic Death metal. Black metal is about atmosphere, and Dissection is not about the atmosphere.

And it was not In Flames, At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Eucharist, or Dissection that founded and created Melodic Death metal. It was Carcass. The whole Gothenburg scene exists because of Heartwork. And Iron Maiden.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Carcass's Heartwork came out in 1994.

ATG released many albums before including "Red In The Sky is Ours" 1992, "Gardens of Grief" 1991 and With Fear I kiss the Burning Darkness" 1993.

Dark Tranquility first came out in 1993.

Tiamat released Sumerian City in 90, along with Astral Sleep in 91, and Hypocrisy came out in 92.

All melodic death metal, all before Heartwork.

And then of course Entombed...

[Terminal Spirit]

Heartwork was released in 93 actually, written in 92. Listen to The Red in the Sky is Ours. It is not the Gothenburg sound. Neither Tiamat, nor Hypocrisy are Gothenburg sound. Skydancer by Dark Tranquility is, in some aspsects, namely the solos, and did influence the gothenburg scene, but not as much as Heartwork.

[Jondur]

And it was not In Flames, At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Eucharist, or Dissection that founded and created Melodic Death metal. It was Carcass. The whole Gothenburg scene exists because of Heartwork. And Iron Maiden.

The whole scene I reckon comes from one riff in Iron Maiden's "Revelation" - have a listen, it's pure Gothenburg!

I don't really agree with this. Gardens of Grief came out in 91 and even then you could see the beginnings of that sound. Swedish death metal was always much, much more melodic than US death metal (you could hear the maiden influence in Unleashed!)so I guess it was inevitable that it would be taken to it's logical conclusion. In the US that would mean suffocation, Hate Eternal etc and in Sweden that would mean Soilwork and In Flames.

While I hate such fence sitting I would call Dissection blackened death metal. There is a black metal feel to the sound but they still have more in common with At The Gates than Abigor.

[superpeer]

Yeah I agree, Melodic death is basically a combination of Iron maiden and early death, like the band. Id est death :).

But really, it doesn't really matter guys, melodic death provides us with some great bands like At the gates, In flames , dark tranquillity, arch enemy, ...
It doesn't really matter who was first. ;)

[Toozey]

I find it funny that Mike Ammot left Carcass because of the melodic side coming into the music then he went and started Arch Enemy.

[Toozey]

I was reading a Mithras interview yesterday and the band Thorns came up, I was wondering what would be the best album to get by them.

[ninjamonkey]

what album is iron maiden - revelation on?

[Jondur]

Piece of mind. Their best IMHO.

[xAzagthothx]

you know who nobody talks about in the melodic death metal thing? Necrophobic. have any of you actually heard the album Bloodhymns? dear christ... its sheer genious. i ****ing LOVE that cd. Thats death metal with a blackened, melodic feel to it.

i donno, this is how i see ****:

Death metal: Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Skinless
Black Metal: Immortal, Emperor, old Dimmu Borgir, Old Mans Child, Dark Funeral
Thrash: Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, Overkill
Old School Death Metal: Possessed, Death (SBG/Leprosy), Slaughter Lord, Morbid Angel's early stuff, Entombed (LHP/Clandestine)
Old School Black/Thrash: Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Venom


now, my thoughts on the whole melodic thing change sometimes. Normally, when i classify a band as "melodic" they sound like At The Gates, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, Arch Enemy. Sometimes i call that melodic death metal, because i alternate from calling bands like Iced Earth and Jag Panzer melodic or power metal.

but whichever the case is, ATG, DT, IF, and AE are DEFINATELY melodic.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

If you listen to Lunar Strain (In Flames) and then listen to Storm of the light's bane (Dissection), you will see there is a huge difference between the two. To the person who said that Dissection doesn't put out an atmosphere, then you obviously have not heard Storm of the light's bane (arguably their best album). Dissection gives you the black metal atmosphere that you get from listening to a black metal album, Dissection is definitely black metal.

[Squirrel]

Can anyone recommend me any songs by Death to get; then if i like, which album I should opt for ?

[superpeer]

^
I liked 'moment of clarity'

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I was reading a Mithras interview yesterday and the band Thorns came up, I was wondering what would be the best album to get by them.

Thorns only has one album even though they have been around along time, they only have one album because of Snorre serving jailtime due to being an accessory in Varg's murder of Euronymous. Either way, the full length album they have is self titled "Thorns." They have demos and other things like that from before Snorre's stint in prison, also they have a split with emperor.

[superpeer]

Also, today I got the Metal zone pedal from Boss for a present.
I was a bit disappointed because I thought it would have been heavier. Maybe it's broke, because it's second handed.

[xAzagthothx]

**** pedal distortion dude. go tube amps.


to the dude about Death songs:

Zombie Ritual
Infernal Death
Pull The Plug
Suicide Machine
Crystal Mountain
1,000 Eyes
Empty Words
Sacred Serenity


metttaaaaaaaal

[Lefty]

Haha, that's maybe my all-time Death fav's right there. Buy Symbolic. Or Human. Or Individual thought patterns, or Scream Blo... ****, buy their whole discography.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Haha, that's maybe my all-time Death fav's right there. Buy Symbolic. Or Human. Or Individual thought patterns, or Scream Blo... ****, buy their whole discography.

Agreed, buy it all!

[xAzagthothx]

hahahahah yeah right.

personally, i would pick Scream Bloody Gore, Human, and Symbolic as their 3 essentials, maybe throwing in Sound of Perseverance. i donno.... it gets a little to progish for me at times, i mean the band is called DEATH afterall.....hahah

[Terminal Spirit]

Go with the DOD Death Metal Distortion pedal. The Metal Zone may work for Metallica, but not much heavier, on it's own.

[AmonAmarth]

The DOD Death Metal pedal is a piece of ****.

[Jondur]

Go with the DOD Death Metal Distortion pedal. The Metal Zone may work for Metallica, but not much heavier, on it's own.

hmmm Turn Loose the Swans, Serenades, Gothic, Spirit the Earth Aflame, Battle Magic, New Dark Age etc all disagree. All recorded using Mashall Valvestate and Boss Metal Zone. It's what you do with it. Unsilence had a death metal sound and always used Metal Zones. The River don't have a death metal sound so only use a Metal Zone for the bass!

[Lefty]

The Metal Zone is indeed pretty descent if you doodle around with it.. But for bass, Jon? Never tried that. For bass distortion I use the Ibanez PD7, it gets the job done.

[Jondur]

It sounds OK. The bass player has got a "Big Muff" pedal now which not only sounds better but is shiny and makes for lots of poor jokes.

[Jondur]

Now this is black metal!!! http://www.masterful-magazine.com/galeria.php?rodzaj=zdjecia&katalog=gorgoroth#galeria

Look at that! Sheeps heads, crucified naked women, barbed wire, red lights, sheeps guts.... good stuff!

Oh, not it isnt.. whoops...

bollocked = mightily told off

A Metal Zone in combination with a good tube amp can sound good, but the pedal by itself doesn't impress me in the slightest.

The DOD Death Metal pedal is a piece of ****.

You obviously haven't heard The Berzerker or Impurity's guitars.

[+mekava+]

btw, who started the baphomet horde?

isnt baphomet.. like the goat headed guy with the wings and the beard?

And you obviously haven't heard of an AMP

Oh please I had a DOD and it compared nothing to my Smashbox. It's a Piece Of ****.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

dont use pedals, people cant seem to grasp this. a natural tone from the amp and the right kind of humbucker should be all you need, much cleaner distored sound than a distorted mess that pedals cause, to much **** feedback and clutter, does no justice to the sustain either.

[metdrummer]

true...

[metdrummer]

Jondur are they real chicks? or just dolls?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Those chicks are real, actually I heard one of them passed out and that's the main reason they are in trouble.
